| Democrats frustrated by Bush's reaction to Iraq report

When will you people face it? Bush is NUTZ! Get him the hell out of there!

McClatchy Washington Bureau 12/08/2006 Democrats frustrated by Bush's reaction to Iraq report:

"WASHINGTON - Top Democrats in Congress left a White House meeting with President Bush on Friday frustrated over what they perceived as his reluctance to embrace major recommendations from the bipartisan Iraq Study Group.

Democrats stressed to Bush in separate meetings the dire need for the administration to revamp its Iraq policy, but they don't expect him to embrace all 79 recommendations made this week by the panel, which was chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind.
Bush said he talked about 'the need for a new way forward in Iraq' in his morning session with leaders from both parties and chambers of Congress, 'and we talked about the need to work together on this important subject.'

But some Democrats came away unconvinced that major changes were coming.
'
I just didn't feel there today, the president in his words or his demeanor, that he is going to do anything right away to change things drastically,' Senate Majority Leader-elect Harry Reid, D-Nev., said following the Oval Office meeting. 'He is tepid in what he talks about doing. Someone has to get the message to this man that there have to be significant changes.'
